The White House is reviewing its policy of secret drone strikes, as Stars and Stripes reports. The reconsideration is recognition that the United States could be setting precedent for the way other nations operate drones, as they gain the capability to use them in attacks.

Two House Republicans got into it over detention policy Thursday. As Roll Call reports, Florida Rep. Tom Rooney accused his Michigan counterpart Justin Amash of wanting to "coddle foreign enemy combatants." Amash has forwarded an amendment to the defense bill that would forbid the military from indefinitely detaining people caught in the United States and suspected of being terrorists. But as Fox reports this morning, the Amash amendment was rejected.

"Pentagon spokesman John
Kirby: “I am on leave in Florida, attending my daughter’s wedding. I
will do the best I can to reply to your email. That said, I have been
told that if I pick up this blackberry too often, it will be the
beginning of one marriage and the end of another. Maybe you should call
me instead. But let’s keep it short. Vr/John”

Congrats to Capt. Kirby and his daughter! “Can you believe that she is marrying a young naval officer?” he tells us in an email (uh-oh). “All in the family, I guess.”
